ABSTRACT

The Korean government revised the Chemical Control Act in 2015 to promote chemical safety, particularly enhancing the standards for the installation and management of chemical-handling facilities. Although it provided a significant accident prevention effect due to the stronger workplace safety management, industry has been complaining that some standards are applied universally without considering specific chemical usages and locations. In this study, we attempted to provide a more rational approach to these standards by comparing and analyzing the similar safety management systems around the world. We also conducted a survey of 100 stakeholders in chemical-handling facilities. Based on the findings, we proposed a reasonable method to apply installation and management standards of chemical handling facilities, depending on whether or not they are located within an industrial complex and they handle only a small quantity of ORA.
